The Approved Mental Health Professional's Guide to Mental Health Law by Robert Brown
This book brings key elements of the legislation, Code of Practice, Memorandum, Government Circulars and relevant case law and policy together into one text. Written in an accessible style and supported by exercises, case studies and checklists, it is a clear guide to the law relevant to the practice of an Approved Mental Health Professional. This second edition is invaluable for anyone wishing to become an AMHP, as well as their assessors, who have previously had to refer to a variety of sources in order to achieve a thorough understanding of relevant points of law and practice.
"An excellent and readable summary of a complex area - ideal for candidates doing AMHP / PQ courses" (Senior Lecturer in Social Work, Teesside University)
